This would give quite a different viewpoint to this judge and many newsgroups if the name of the gay rights group was Alternative to Natural Copulation Rights Association ...or if it were a group dedicated to make humping animals legal. Too many Americans are getting comfortable with the word "Gay". It should be Butt Pirates. That gives it a little more accuracy.

calling them but pirats is an insult to pirates and an insult to people with attractive posteriors.

Just call them sodomites, the are defined by their sex act. Or just call them homosexuals.

BTW: Homosexuals are objecting to the term "sexual preference"; they fear the public may take the term to imply change is possible. It is, and that is a badly kept secret they are trying to keep in the closet.
